Withered Plains.

In the third month of the night goddess's general, this place has become the main battlefield of the battle between nature and darkness.

The core main forces of both sides are not moving, but the forward and peripheral fighters are fighting. This is like two martial arts masters, when they fight, they must find out the reality of their opponents, seize the upper hand, and make themselves invincible, and then they will deliver a fatal blow.

The kind of person who makes a big move as soon as he comes may collapse a few illiterate people, but this kind of person often dies quickly.

The same is true on the battlefield, if in such a tentative attack, one side shows a decline and is touched by the other party's strength, then it will be followed by a thunderous blow.

The most vanguard troops of the Nature God system are those mercenaries, and what drives the mercenaries into the Withered Plains is the bounty posted by the Trol Fortress.

The mercenaries formed a team, and in the experience of blood and fire, some mercenary teams fell, but some mercenary teams grew up and became famous in the natural god system.

The 'Flowing Fire' led by Gorenson is such a mature mercenary team, no, to be precise, it should be a mercenary group.

They have won every battle, the mission completion rate has reached 80%, the captain Gorensen is a level 51 peak god, most of the team members are equipped with equipment made of god crystal cold iron, and the total number of members has reached more than 100 people, which is the best team stationed in the Trol Fortress.

In fact, the leaders of the mercenary regiment are all gods, which is similar to the demigod hundred-man team commanded by Allen in the past, but with a little flexibility.

However, things will not always be smooth sailing, and at this time, the Drifting Fire Group is in big trouble.

This time, they were given a big task in the fortress to pull out a watchtower of the Dark Legion in the middle of the Blighted Plains.

The news was detected by the scouts of the regular army, and the most accurate information was the location of the watchtower, and other specific information about the watchtower was vaguely described. The safest adjective is just 'probable'.

The more obscure the message, the riskier the mission, and of course the higher the bounty reward, such as this one, which rewards a Time Tranquility Scroll and a set of old elite Ares Guard artifacts from the Weapon Workshop.

This thing can trap all enemies within 500 meters after use, and it is a killing weapon that can turn the tide of battle. And the equipment of the elite God of War Guard is a very outstanding artifact. Although this artifact set is old-fashioned and no longer the best standard god suit in the Trollan Fortress, it is still mouth-watering, and if you use it well, you will have a super thug in the team who can calm the field.

After some consideration, Gorenson took on the task of big risk and big reward.

The journey was going well, but when they approached the tower ten kilometers, trouble came.

They were preemptively discovered by their opponent's spies. The sneak attack plan immediately goes bankrupt, and in this case, the wisest way is to abandon the mission immediately and retreat immediately.

Where there is life, there is hope.

That's exactly what Gorenson did, he was experienced in combat, he had experienced enough setbacks, and he knew this sentence well. He was never relentless, so he immediately retreated.

But it's not that simple. Shortly after retreating, a team of Dark Minotaurs, Green Fire Imps, and Porcupine people chased after them.

The minotaur is good at fighting, he is tall and powerful, except for Gorensen, the other fighters in the team can't stop it at all, and the green fire imp is thin and weak. But they are good at using magic energy fireballs, and they throw fireballs when they catch people behind them from a distance of 100 meters, and it is extremely difficult to extinguish them after their bodies are on fire, and they are very vicious. As for the Porcupine Folk men, they generally charge closely after the Minotaur. After reaching the middle of them, the arrows that were thrown off their bodies at the moment of danger were within a radius of ten meters, which was extremely difficult.

Gorenson and his men fought and retreated, each time they were crushed by the downwind, and after dropping more than twenty corpses along the way, the entire regiment was finally blocked in a valley.

Gorenson and the elite members blocked the valley mouth together, and after resisting the impact of the other party several times, the two sides temporarily fell silent, one inside the valley and the other outside the valley, staring wide-eyed.

During this time, the mouth of the valley had been built into a simple but solid stone wall by the Driftfire Mercenary Group with stones, and Gorenson spared no effort to strengthen it, giving it the strength to resist the Minotaur's charge.

At this point, Gorenson was standing behind the wall, cautiously observing the situation on the other side.

The dark warriors outside the valley didn't even leave, they seemed to be in contact with him, so they blocked the mouth of the valley, and they set up a strange green bonfire, on which the corpses of mercenaries stripped of their armor were pierced with wooden sticks, and they were left on the fire to roast, and they were used as food.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the souls of these dead warriors were all saved by him with the command rune in his hand, and there was no loss.

But even so, Gorenson couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists.

Despite his anger, Gorenson did not forget his purpose, and he continued to observe the other party.

There are more people on the other side than him, there are more than forty minotaurs, each of them is three meters tall, there is thick skin on their bodies, their swords are difficult to pierce through, and their strength can top three Holy Spirit warriors, and it is especially difficult to control when they charge. The number of green fire imps was even larger, they were small, only more than a meter tall, densely gathered around the green campfire, and after counting them carefully, Gorenson only knew that the other party had a hundred. There are also eighty porcupine pigs, and the total adds up to more than two hundred.

And more than twenty of his regimental members died, and there were still eighty-six people left at this time, and their strength was much weaker than that of the other party.

As he watched for a while, Gorensen's mood grew heavier, and he withdrew his gaze and shouted to the archers in the distance, who were constantly climbing high up the valley in search of a way out, "Sly, can you find a way out?" ”

Slay shook his head, "No. They sent eyeliners all around the valley, and if we climbed out, we would be spotted, and they would immediately catch up! ”

Although it is a dead end in this valley, the small cliff wall is naturally difficult to defeat the Holy Spirit warrior with legendary power. But the problem is that it takes time to climb the rock wall, and the opponent has set up an eyeliner and can't hide from the opponent, and this time is enough for the opponent to bypass and attack.

"It's going to kill us!" The adjutant beside Gorenson whispered, his brow furrowed, a hint of despair on his face.

When it rained overnight, the archer leader Jana crept up to Gorenson. He said softly: "Commander, we don't have many arrows, and there are about ten more for each soldier." ”

There were fifty archers in the ranks, ten arrows each, for a total of five hundred, and the opponents were more than two hundred. Especially the Minotaur, it would take an average of five or six to shoot that guy, so this arrow is simply not enough.

Gorenson's face was calm, but he was not desperate, and said to the adjutant, "Go and release the communication rune." ”

The teleportation rune, a powerful rune officially sold by the Trol Fortress, a hundred gold crystal coins each, is very expensive. But it's worth the money.

Runes have two functions when used.

One is soul positioning, the Blighted Plains are thousands of kilometers away from the Trol outpost, and the situation here is complicated and chaotic. In the sky, the divine thoughts of the goddess of the night and the god of war clashed everywhere, and the interference was very serious. If they die in battle, the god of war may not be able to find their souls. But if they are located with runes, the gods of war can easily use this to determine the location of their souls, in case of accidents. Can lure their souls back to the stronghold. So far, as long as the runes have been used. The soul of the god of war has never disappointed.

The second is to ask for help. After the rune is used, the warriors of the nature god system within 500 kilometers of the surrounding area can receive the message, and if the situation allows, they will generally come to help.

Now that the worst-case scenario is now, Gorenson naturally prepares for the worst.

This place is already the deepest part of the Blighted Plains, and it is the front line of the battle. Gorenson didn't expect someone to come to the rescue, although it was the most he wanted help, because once he died in battle, his soul would return, and his strength would be greatly depleted. For example, he died once, his body died once, and even the divine fire was extinguished.

Now that he is a level 51 god, he has not used an avatar, this is his essence, although he is very likely to break out alone, but as the leader of the mercenary group, he will definitely not do this.

He will definitely die in battle, and after he dies in battle, it is estimated that his divine fire will not be extinguished, but he will become a demigod again.

'Hey, it's really hard to get promoted alone. Gorensen really regretted it, he knew this, he had been following the god of war in the first place, look at that William, I heard that the other party already has the strength of the peak of the weak god.

"Yes, Captain." The adjutant replied.

"Hey" Gorenson sighed, the runes were released, at least their souls could be immortalized, although their strength would be reduced, but it was ten thousand times better than being completely broken, and there was always a chance to start over.

Relieving the pressure, Gorensen refocused on the dark warriors outside the valley, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is there some big secret hidden in that watchtower?" Otherwise, why would these dark warriors be so undying? ”

He has dealt with the dark warrior I don't know how many times, if he is bent on escaping, these guys will give up after chasing for a while, and they will never bite all the way behind him like today.

"Norhan, what did you say was in the tower?" Gorenson asked his lieutenant.

Norhan was obviously thinking about this as well, and he seemed to have found some clues: "Commander, look at those minotaurs, they all wear battle armor on their upper bodies, and they also have helmets on their heads, which is not very common. ”

The dark warrior is savage and primitive, rarely uses tools, and relies entirely on physical brute strength, but now the other party is unusual, and no one can help but be puzzled.

Of course, Gorenson also saw it, but the armor on this minotaur was too crude, so he made a few holes in two pieces of iron, clamped it between the front chest and the back, and then put it on with a rope, so he didn't think much about it, he just thought that the minotaur was like this.

But now that he was reminded by the adjutant, and upon closer inspection, he found that the minotaur didn't seem to be very accustomed to using the crude iron armor on his body, which was obviously added to it.

"The material of this iron armor looks a little strange, it doesn't look like iron, but it's strong, and our arrows can't penetrate it." Gorenson Road.

"Could it be that there is some rare metal mine next to that watchtower?" Adjutant Norhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he guessed.

Even in the abyss, the cherished metal ore is still a strategic material, especially important to the nature god system, and the god of war made his fortune from a magic cold iron mine. Although the Dark Warriors are far less able to use the mines than the Nature Gods, it does not prevent them from taking possession.

Occupying this mine and not allowing the nature god system to use it is a weakening of the power of the nature god system.

This speculation is really possible, but Gorenson then sighed again: "It's just a guess, and there is no way to verify it." We can't take the credit for that. ”

Even if their souls go back and tell the god of war the news, because it is speculation, the god of war will definitely send a new team to verify it, if this team gets the exact news, most of the credit will be theirs, and they will only get some small sweetness at most.

But Gorenson quickly picked himself up: "It's not the last moment yet. Go and tell your brothers, take care of your strength, fight to the death when the time comes, and at least survive a few to get out. ”

If you live one more, the loss of the mercenary group will be reduced by one point, whether it is for the mercenary group or the individual, the price of rebirth is too great, and it is the last helpless choice.

"Good!" Norhan nodded heavily.

However, just as he was about to turn around and pass his life, a sweet and soft voice suddenly sounded beside them: "Looks like you're in trouble?" (To be continued......)
